Recently, Shepard Fairey and I threw some fundraisers for the Obama campaign. We called them “The Party for Change”. (If you don’t know who Shepard is—among many other things—he is the one responsible for the image on the right).

I’ve been wanting to put the mix I’ve been doing at these shows online, in hopes of spreading the word to people who need to hear it most. So, here it is: (zipped vbr mp3 / 84.7 MB)

I know we’re a tad late on this, but it’s a dope mix to say the least. Check it all out here at www.djztrip.com/obama.

What does an average week in the life of Mark Knight consist of?

If I’m not away on tour I like to keep as much structure as possible to my working week, so I’ll get into the office/studio for 9.30am and work through to 7.30/8pm (sometimes later). I really have to split my time, balancing various roles within the week between A&R and the things that surround Toolroom – I like to have a hands on approach with the musical directive of the label. Then of course there’s producing music and maintaining a consistency of high quality output which is key to being on top if your game. I also need to make time to prepare my sets and everything that goes with the weekend gigs, doing re-edits and sourcing new music etc. And now, with my new weekly Toolroom Knights radio show I have to set time aside to do research and record it every week. All this while trying to maintain as much of a balanced life, which I have learned over the years is really important to make all the other things work. I am really fortunate to have a great team around me to make even attempting the whole thing possible.
